Forums - Gaming Discussion - Should WB be sued?

I gotta say gamers put up with shit that people just wouldn't accept in any other entertainment medium. Imagine you buy a movie and every few scenes the picture goes all pixelated or a few lines of dialog get muted. Would you accept that? Let alone the movie completely freezes at a particular scene and you can't go on.

Imagine buying a book and a couple of pages have smudged out paragraphs you can't read? You you accept that?

Imagine buying a music album and a couple of songs have a second or two where you just hear static? Would you accept that?

Sure we can live with frame rate dips, texture pop-in, screen tearing to some extent, but game breaking stuff is just not OK. But we keep bending over and taking it from behind, and paying them for the privilege, because we're as hooked as crack addicts and they know it.

So this is where the industry draws the line? Not at releasing a buggy as all hell game in the first place, not at saying you're going to fix it or letting people assume it will be fixed (and then not fixing it after all), no, you have to release a buggy game, not fix it, and admit that you're not going to fix it. That's where we draw the line. Good to know.



Did they claim to have a bug free game? On what grounds would you sue?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It's a shame games don't go through the same testing as they used to, or is it that they do but Publishing demand to get the game out to make money and complexity of modern games means certain glitches are missed?

Did people sue for game glitches in the late 90s and early 2000s when we couldn't get an update to fix it?



Hmm, pie.

just don't buy the game and the DLC.

If the bugs are bad, they deserve to be sued. I'm afraid it wouldn't yield any results though.



I have it on Wii U, so far its been ok apart from a few freezes here and there (still frustrating though). The open world bit is a bit stuttery too, but ive seen some footage of the PS3 version and it looks broken as hell. The game should have been delayed and fixed.

In the defence of gamers, this is the first time this has happened in the series. I doubt anyone expected it. We were use to the level of quality Rocksteady put out. Then WB took over and fucked it up.



I would rather people stop buying warner bros games than suing them but alas people will still buy their next batman game ...



EA hasn't been this ignorant pertaining to bugs. This is a new low for WBGames.
